Fucking hell Wattpad. Your recommendations feed is fucking awful. 'Readers who enjoy (Rumi x Fem reader) also enjoy these stories'
Then proceeds to give me a long list of 'straight to DVD' quality straight novels and fanfics. Like what? Out of all the results you could've recommend me as a result of me reading a decidedly lesbian story search result about love and friendship while slaying demons, not a single one of your recommendations was lesbian storytelling? I miss old school Wattpad. Back when it was still community driven, still had personal messages, and when we didn't constantly get paid books in categories we don't even read shoved down our throats.

It's actually impressive how fast they've screwed their own platform. I've been on the platform for a handful of years, give or take. For a long while I loved it, and then they disabled the private messages, then shortly after the personal feed just went belly up. Nowadays I dread trying to find new stories to read, like it's honestly a pain. When I hyper fixate on a fandom, I ALWAYS read as many of the stories on AO3 as possible, and only turn to Wattpad when the other well has dried out. It's fucking sad, because in the past I barely ever touched AO3 (which was a mistake) but now I'm borderline compelled to do so in order to avoid Wattpad.
